Last night, I worked on recording a song I wrote called “Goodbye Summer.” I originally posted about this same song back on day 239 when I first wrote the lyrics, but I’ve taken my time actually setting the words to music.

By the way, when I first wrote the lyrics, I was planning to call the song “Seasons Change,” but I decided to switch to the new name because I prefer song titles that come from the words of the chorus.

I’m curious which song name you prefer. Do you like Goodbye Summer or Seasons Change?

Last Sunday, I set out to write the lyrics to a song without writing the music at the same time, something I don’t usually do. This is what I came up with. In the near future, I’ll set it to music and post a recording.

Seasons ChangeThe fall comes in soft and slow
and although I try to ignore it
The days get cool and the nights get cold
how summer wanes much too quick

Our suntanned skin will quickly fade
and the sand will fall from our feet
and we’ll all run out of lemonade
as we move inside to find a seat

Tonight I made a recording of a little song I wrote a while back. Click on the link above to have a listen. A bit of warning that the sound is pretty quiet and then gets a bit crazy for a split second at one point. Otherwise, it gets the job done. Anyways, I hope you like it!

Tonight I started writing a song called “This Town.” Click on the link to take a listen. It’s by no means done so this is just kind of a sketch. Note that the audio is kinda crazy because I don’t have any recording equipment. Sorry ’bout that!
